needs_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o light_n of_o christ_n which_o convince_v and_o reprove_v for_o sin_n because_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n be_v commit_v in_o another_o nature_n and_o be_v against_o he_o which_o with_o his_o light_n he_o reprove_v as_o be_v against_o he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a light_n from_o christ_n which_o reprove_v the_o natural_a man_n in_o the_o fall_n q._n but_o have_v man_n at_o any_o time_n know_v god_n as_o he_o be_v god_n by_o that_o light_n which_o be_v within_o he_o a._n yes_o for_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o light_n which_o shine_v in_o our_o heart_n give_v we_o the_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o he_o have_v be_v know_v and_o be_v

enmity_n q._n and_o do_v the_o election_n and_o reprobation_n stand_v in_o the_o nature_n or_o seed_n of_o light_n and_o darkness_n a._n yes_o it_o do_v so_o for_o the_o seed_n of_o light_n be_v christ_n who_o god_n have_v elect_v and_o choose_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o darkness_n be_v the_o devil_n and_o enmity_n which_o be_v reprobate_v for_o

the_o true_a seed_n of_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a unto_o who_o god_n seal_v his_o covenant_n and_o to_o his_o seed_n seed_n for_o ever_o and_o esau_n be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o enmity_n and_o so_o be_v out_o of_o god_n covenant_n reprobate_v q._n how_o do_v jacob_n and_o esau_n stand_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n see_v that_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v or_o have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n jacob_n be_v love_v of_o god_n and_o esau_n hate_v a._n they_o stand_v in_o their_o nature_n or_o seed_n in_o which_o each_o be_v conceive_v and_o though_o both_o in_o rebekahs_n womb_n as_o twin_n yet_o the_o one_o be_v of_o flesh_n the_o other_o of_o spirit_n and_o esau_n be_v of_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v out_o of_o god_n covenant_n and_o jacob_n be_v the_o true_a seed_n he_o be_v in_o god_n covenant_n so_o jacob_n be_v in_o the_o election_n and_o god_n love_v he_o but_o esau_n be_v in_o the_o reprobation_n and_o god_n hate_v he_o and_o thus_o god_n behold_v they_o in_o the_o womb_n before_o they_o have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n that_o his_o own_o purpose_n according_a to_o election_n may_v stand_v q._n and_o have_v these_o nature_n or_o seed_n be_v in_o every_o man_n through_o all_o generation_n a._n yes_o they_o have_v so_o for_o they_o signify_v two_o nature_n or_o people_n and_o so_o nation_n have_v be_v against_o nation_n in_o man_n through_o all_o generation_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o two_o seeed_n q._n what_o be_v the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o people_n that_o remain_v in_o the_o fall_n and_o abide_v in_o the_o transgression_n a._n a_o state_n of_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n q._n what_o dispensation_n must_v people_n pass_v thorough_a to_o come_v unto_o
